A hearty 'aye' to all of Todd's comments. Leather is a whole different animal when it comes to sewing. On lighter leathers there is a tendency for the two pieces being joined to move at different rates in front of the machine foot if they are not tacked together with an adhesive first. The longer the length of leather, the greater the problem. A walking foot helps greatly, but that's not your typical home machine. And there are no "do overs." There is no way too erase a line of needle marks.
Not to discourage you, but a leather kilt is a tall order for a beginning sewer.
